Knife with lighting fixture

Abstract

Disclosed is a knife with lighting fixture which mainly consists of a pair of cases, a pivotally turnable knife, and a pivotally turnable supporting plate. The supporting plate has a cell, a bulb, and a push button supported thereon. The push button is slightly projected from one of the case so that a depression of it may lighten the bulb to shine toward the knife for convenient use in a dark place. The supporting plate may be easily turned out of the cases for mounting a new cell and/or a new bulb when necessary.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A knife with lighting fixture, comprising a first and a second cases having a substantially symmetrical profile;   a knife control mechanism being disposed between said first and said second cases and including a knife which can be pivotally turned about said cases to be extended out of or received in said cases; and   a lighting fixture consisting of a supporting plate being pivotally connected between said first and said second cases and having a cell seat to receive a cell therein, an elongated groove extending from said cell seat toward a front end of said supporting plate, and a bulb seat formed in front of said elongated groove to receive a bulb therein; said bulb having two pole pieces separately connected to a corresponding pole of said cell received in said cell seat; and said lighting fixture further consisting of a push button disposed above said cell with a top surface thereof slightly projecting from said first case; and   said bulb being shining when said push button is depressed to electrically connect said pole pieces of said bulb with said corresponding poles of said cell and directly lighting a cutting edge of said knife when said knife is pivotally turned relative to said cases to a completely extended position.   
     
     
       2. A knife with lighting fixture as claimed in claim 1, wherein a sponge pad is disposed at a bottom of said cell seat below said cell, said sponge pad being formed with a long cutout to receive an end of one of said pole pieces of said bulb and serving as a cushion for said push button so that said pole pieces of said bulb and said poles of said cell are in a normally disconnected relationship.
